Fitting in with the kids at last

Michael Jackson is having a great time in Bahrain! He was recently spotted in a veil and robe, much like his kids are often dressed in. OK, well his kids are often dressed in mardi gras masks, but you get the point. Of course to go that extra Jackson mile, the getup is a style worn by Bahranian women, not dudes, so maybe that whole thing of getting caught in the ladies’ room and now this is just part of a master plan to finally become a clone of Joan Rivers.

“My name is Adam Schlesinger, and I’m a workaholic.” “HI, ADAM!”

Billboard Magazine reports that Fountains of Wayne are finally re-entering the studio to work on the follow-up to Welcome Interstate Managers, which introduced them to the world at large through “Stacey’s Mom.”

But, apparently, the band’s creative genius, Adam Schlesinger (who, with his on-the-side gig as a member of Ivy, was responsible for a great 2005 album that I’m only just now discovering called In The Clear), is also going to be making the time to produce the new album by America.

Yes, that America. The ones who did “Horse with No Name” and the sorely underrated ’80s track, “You Can Do Magic.”

Should be interesting…and, by interesting, I mean it will probably sound really good but will nonetheless only sell to the band’s existing fans and Schlesinger’s uber-fans who’ll buy anything his name’s attached to.

Okay, fine, you’re right, that includes me. Happy?
